I had the very great privilege of knowing Sir Robert Anderson. I not only knew him, but I have read and profited by his writings. He was a sturdy and very able fighter. He and his wife, Lady Agnes Anderson, showed me many kindnesses, and after many years it is an act of gratitude to repay them. I should like to have been able to write a longer note of his many activities, but I send this very brief Foreword in commendation of this account of Sir Robert Anderson, which I have read with very deep interest. September 1946. CALDECOTE. FOREWORD TO AN EARLIER MEMOIR by THE LATE REV. J. STUART HOLDEN, M.A., D.D. ESTEEM it no small privilege to be asked for a brief word of introduction to this Memoir of Sir Robert Anderson, to whom I have long been indebted, not only for illumination and inspiration in common with thousands the world over, but for the more intimate and richer gifts also of a true and loyal friendship. For he was a man whose genius for comradeship was by no means the least of his many endowments. To many it was inevitable he should be known only as the stalwart defender of the Faith, the clear expositor, the zealous champion of Christian causes, the keen controversialist, the distinguished public servant. Those who saw merely the externals of a singularly busy and many-sided life seldom came to a true appreciation of the man as he was. In his consuming passion for what he regarded as vital to the Christian Faith, he was often compelled to appear dogmatic to the point of unsympathy, and narrow- minded to the point of sheer unaccommodation. When, as sometimes happened, in controversies (not always of his seeking) regarding modern critical methods of handling the Word of God, or the promulgation of doctrines subversive of the Gospel of Christ, he stood out as a champion of the unpopular view of things, he both received and gave hard blows. No one, indeed, could give harder. But this was a role thrust upon him, and was far from being a spontaneous expression of the " hidden man of the heart." He disliked intensely the necessity of combat inseparable from his downright consecration to Christ, and suffered not a little under its consequences to himself. And never, for a single moment, did he betray the slightest bitterness of spirit toward an opponent. If he must fight, he fought as a knight of God file:///G|/Swartzentrover.com/cotor/E-Books/christ/Moore-Anderson/RA_Biography/SRA_For.htm (1 of 3)6/17/2010 3:07:20 PM Sir Robert Anderson - Foreword and a very perfect gentleman ; so that those who opposed him, and finally gave him up as " hopeless," rode off with a fine appreciation of the character of their opponent. Sincerely convinced, with a strong belief in his beliefs, and withal an unfailing courtesy and an utter indifference to all personal considerations, he commended himself to every man's conscience even when he failed to carry their judgment. It is true to say that no man ever lived who had so many opponents and so few enemies. But those who were privileged to know him at closer quarters will ever think of him, in yet warmer terms, as one of the most devoted, humble, and kindly of men, and one of the staunchest of friends. For he never hid himself from those of whose sympathy and affection he was assured, and they at all times found him true to friendship's every demand. Loving hands have chronicled and compiled the following short sketch, but in no single line has love outrun sober judgment or been betrayed into exaggeration. That he taught and proclaimed Christ all men know. That he very consistently lived Christ and carried about into all the relationships of life a sweet savour of Him, his family and friends know. And they are glad to share their knowledge of him, and the inspiration to follow the Lord as he followed Him which was its fruit, with the larger circle who honour him for his works' sake. For myself, life will always be richer for the generous and condescending friendship (from which all evidence of condescension was strikingly absent) of an old and distinguished servant of Christ toward a younger and altogether undistinguished one. In the happy enjoyment of our frequent intercourse I learned, I trust, at least to desire and strive after something of that loyalty to the Lord Jesus which was the well-spring of his strength and service. And there is no man whose obedience I would more earnestly endeavour to emulate in its purity and constancy. From his writings I came to know something of the unfathomable content of the Gospel. From his life I came to know far more concerning the possibility and glory of its ministry. And until my own course is finished, I shall be grateful to him who has gone from us, and still more to Him Whose best gifts to His people are men such as he was-" an example of the believers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." ST. PAUL'S, PORTMAN SQUARE, W. October 1919. J. STUART HOLDEN. AUTHOR'S PREFACE A SLIGHT sketch of my father's life, entitled Sir Robert Anderson : a Tribute and Memoir, was written under difficulties in 1919, whilst I was awaiting a return passage to South Africa. It is the foundation of this book, which however has been almost entirely re-written and greatly enlarged, the fresh material including a tribute to my mother. The late Dr. Stuart Holden's valued Foreword again appears, and I have to thank Lord Caldecote for very kindly contributing one to the present volume. Two other old friends, Mr. E. C. Faithfull and Mr. A.

DUNARA, KENILWORTH, CAPE TOWN, July 1946. file:///G|/Swartzentrover.com/cotor/E-Books/christ/Moore-Anderson/RA_Biography/SRA_For.htm (3 of 3)6/17/2010 3:07:20 PM Sir Robert Anderson - Chapter 1 Sir Robert Anderson and Lady Agnes Anderson by Arthur Posonby Moore-Anderson Chapter 1 DUBLIN. THE BEGINNING AND THE CALL Erin, the tear and the smile in thine eye Blend like the rainbow that hangs in the sky. Irish Song . Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Psalm xxiii. 6. I change, He changes not, The Christ can never die ; His love not mine the resting place, His truth not mine the tie. HORATIUS BONAR. AN anglicised Irishman of Scottish extraction. My father's description of himself. Born in Dublin of Ulster stock, his youth was spent in the part of Ireland now known as Eire. Called to the Irish Bar he was early side-tracked into Secret Service work in connection with the Fenian movement of those times. When this led to his crossing the Channel to England it was, as he afterwards expressed it, with a return ticket in his pocket. But from that day his native land knew him only as a visitor. First in the Home Office, then at Scotland Yard, and finally in retirement, he remained a Londoner for the rest of his life. Duty made him a relentless tracker of criminals. But the dynamiters would have been more than a little surprised had they known that the man behind the scenes who hunted them down was author of many books on the Bible and the Christian life. No less amazed would have been many a professional burglar could he have come upon the C.I.D. Chief giving a Gospel address in some London mission hall. His life of seventy-seven years was a many-sided one, in some respects unique. Robert Anderson was born in 1841 at his parents' home in Mountjoy Square, Dublin, whither his father, Matthew Anderson, had come from Londonderry as a young man.

The key points to emerge from the report are: The ARC Budget Proposals The costs of financing the project are likely to exceed the original budget projection due to an increase in the cost of purchasing HMS Scylla and other additional costs. The costs of several key elements of the project remain to be finalised. These include the purchase price, the cost of insurance and mooring costs. The original budget contains an assumption that certain services are provided freely or undertaken by voluntary labour. However, it is possible that some of these services will need to be purchased on the market. Until all outstanding issues are resolved, an upper limit of expenditure on the project is impossible to confirm.

Collectively known as the Australian Convict Sites these places tell the story of the colonisation of Australia and the building of a nation. Fremantle Prison is Western Australia’s most important historical site. As a World Heritage Site, Fremantle Prison is recognised as having the same level of cultural significance as other iconic sites such as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Wall of China, or the Historic Centre of Rome. For 136 years between 1855 and 1991 Fremantle Prison was continuously occupied by prisoners. Convicts built the Prison between 1851 and 1859. Initially called the Convict Establishment, Fremantle Prison held male prisoners of the British Government transported to Western Australia. After 1886 Fremantle Prison became the colony’s main place of incarceration for men, women and juveniles. Fremantle Prison itself was finally decommissioned in November 1991 when its male prisoners were transferred to the new maximum security prison at Casuarina. Fremantle Prison was a brutal place of violent punishments such as floggings and hangings.

  • Angels and Miracles in World War II
    Angels and Miracles in World War II 'Arise, shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See darkness is on the land and deep darkness on the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.' We live in days when this scripture is beginning to be fulfilled. But the time of darkness and light together, will bring about a greater time of 'spiritual warfare' and will necessitate a deeper call to prayer. To help us get a sense of the power of prayer and the revealing of God during warfare we need look no further than WWI and WWII. These were extraordinary days in our nation to live through. Dr Victor Pearce ( who died August 2010 ) lived in both wars and chronicled the amazing stories of the revealing of the power of prayer and the intervention of the Lord during warfare. I think you will be moved and inspired, and I pray the Spirit of God will speak into your spirit through what you read – Jonathan Bellamy, Cross Rhythms CEO. The below accounts were first published in Miracles & Angels, Dr E K Victor Pearce and appear on the website: http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/life/ Dr Victor Pearce became an honours graduate of London University in anthropology, through University College, and specialised at Oxford in prehistoric archaeology. He travelled to archaeological digs and conducted research around the Mediterranean including Turkey and the Levant and also in the USA. He read theology at the London College of Divinity; is a Prebendary of Lichfield Cathedral; was Rector of one of the largest Anglican parishes in England; has had 25 curates, built two churches and several halls (one by voluntary labour).

Efforts by the community of Virtual Heritage researchers to reconstruct sites considered worthy of preservation span from the historical “built environment”, including the Pyramids at Ghiza and Virtual Reality Notre Dame, to natural heritage sites such as Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the Virtual Everglades at Florida. Other important efforts to conserve artefacts and educate visitors include Virtual Stonehenge, Pompeii and the Caves of Lascaux. Entire villages, cities and even caves have been constructed as part of virtual conservation efforts. These digital reconstructions have, to date, contributed significant awareness and interest among the general public, providing educational benefits to schoolchildren and new research opportunities to archaeologists and conservationists, to mention but two groups of beneficiaries.
